Topic of the Day: Native American Fetish Symbols

Hi Everyone,

I hope you're having a great day (or night!). We've been adding a lot of new things to our website lately, with many more to come.

Today I'm going to tell you a little bit about Native American fetish symbols. They have been used by many tribes going back to early history, and can have deep spiritual meaning to the bearer.

Native American fetishes symbolize animals and represent their spirits and forces of nature.

If a carving is believed to carry power, that makes it a fetish. It might be used as protection, or for a successful hunt, or to cure an illness.

For example, the bear in the pendant shown, might be thought to give the wearer strength.

The bear is thought to guide one's journey through life and one's spiritual journey.

There are many other common animal fetishes, such as buffalo, coyote, wolf, owl, turtle, and mountain lion, among others.

Here is one of our pendants featuring a bear fetish made out of turquoise:

Gemstone of the Day: Carnelian

Hi Everyone,

Today we're going to talk about Carnelian, which is a form of chalcedony.

Carnelian was once only available to nobility and the upper classes. People of high status were often buried with the stone.

Carnelian is said to give you energy and protect you from bad vibes.

Some believe it can help calm a bad temper and help you maintain a sense of humor.

If you're looking to increase your wealth, the ancients believed wearing Carnelian would help ward off poverty.

We have a beautiful Carnelian pendant in our collection that is cradled in genuine sterling silver :


We're looking forward to your next visit at JewelryBySeraphim.com !
